美国国家航空航天局的“朱诺”号飞船，于近日捕捉到了一张令人惊叹的木星上凶猛风暴的照片。
NASA's Juno spacecraft has captured a breathtaking image of a raging tempest on Jupiter.
云层颜色深浅的变化揭示了风暴的深度，颜色越深的云层在环境中所处位置更深。
Variations in the darkness of the clouds reveal what's thought to be the depth of the storm, with darker clouds sitting deeper in the atmosphere.
“朱诺”号是在第九次近距离飞越木星时，从云端以上约10108千米的高度捕捉到了这一汹涌景象。
Juno spotted the turbulent scene during its ninth close flyby of the planet, from roughly 10,108 km above the cloudtops.
美国国家航空航天局表示，漩涡状的风暴正以逆时针方向在木星北半球旋转。
According to NASA, the swirling storm is rotating counter-clockwise over Jupiter's northern hemisphere.
照片是10月24日拍摄的，显示了绵延约7至12公里的大量发亮的云层以及它们的阴影。
It was captured on October 24, and reveals massive bright clouds and their shadows, stretching roughly 7-12 km across.
美国国家航空航天局指出：“这些区域非常类似于“朱诺号”之前探测过的其他区域的小型云团，这些云团可能是氨冰晶体混合水冰形成的上升气流柱。”
'These appear similar to the small clouds in other bright regions Juno has detected and are expected to be updrafts of ammonia ice crystals possibly mixed with water ice,' NASA notes.
这一令人震撼的照片，是由公民科学家杰拉尔德·艾彻达特、肖恩·多伦使用“朱诺号”相机的数据，进行处理后得到的。
The stunning image was processed by citizen scientists Gerald Eichstadt and Sean Doran using data from the JunoCam imager.
